Dr. Campbell is the American physician who launched the Brain Science Podcast in 2006. She lives in Alabama where she practiced emergency medicine for over 20 years. She now practices Palliative Medicine. Dr. Campbell was first exposed to neuroscience back in the late 1970's while she was a graduate student in Biomedical Engineering. Brain Science reflects her ongoing passion for understanding how the brain (and body) generates the mind.

Dr. Campbell also hosts and produces Books and Ideas, which is a podcast that reflects her interest in a broad range of subjects including other areas of science, philosophy, history, science fiction, dogs, and even video games.

Brain Science is intended for general listeners. No scientific background is assumed or required. However, one of the things that sets Brain Science apart from other science shows is that it features accessible in-depth discussions.

We know from our email that listeners range from high school students to working neuroscientists. The broad appeal of the show challenges the dogma that such a show can not be made.

Patreon is a website that encourages the support of independent creators in many genres, including podcasts. It allows supporters (now called Patrons) to pledge a monthly amount that goes to the creator only if new content is released. You have total control over the amount you pledge.

Patreon supporters get new episosde transcripts, but do not have access to the back catalogue. For this reason Patreon is most popular with longtime listeners who no longer need access to older content.

Transcripts are available for every episode of Brain Science. Premium Subscribers have unlimited access to episode transcripts, while individual transcripts can be purchased for $1-$2. Links to the PDF files are found in the individual show notes and on the transcript page. Transcripts can also be accessed directly on several mobile devices via the BSP Mobile App.

Brain Science has been produced since December 2006, but only episodes produced since January 2013 appear in iTunes. Older episodes can be purchased individually or in packages in the BSP Store.
